Audio Interface Problems -- How to make it simply work

Hello all. I recently bought a Tascam US-122L audio interface and cant seem to get it to work. It plugs in through the USB on my Macbook and lights come on so I know it is powered up and connected, and the warning comes up that an audio device has been located. I even get a signal on the screen from my track when I strum the guitar, but I cant figure out how to get the output to come out through the speakers so I can hear while I play. I'm also new to Logic and really dont know how to work it so I'm even more lost than when I tried to get it to work through garageband which was eventually successful. What settings should I change so that the recording comes from my interface and I can hear what I play through the speakers? Also any help on setting up a good modern rock distortion sound with presets would be most appreciated. Thanks!

Ah
I think it is actually an Apple App switcher thing.
So if the finder window does noy cover the After Effects Project window, it works, but if you have to use the app switcher, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
I don't think it is a file type issue, so much as a live application issue, or maybe GPU related.
It's a weird thing, not that important, but it does limit where you can and can't drag from.

  • JDialog Problem: How to make a simple "About" dialog box?

    Hi, anyone can try me out the problem, how to make a simple "About" dialog box? I try to click on the MenuBar item, then request it display a JDialog, how? Following is my example code, what wrong code inside?
    ** Main.java**
    ============================
    publc class Main extends JFrame{
    public Main() {
              super();
              setJMenuBar();
              initialize();
    public void setJMenuBar()
         JMenuBar menubar = new JMenuBar();
            setJMenuBar(menubar);
            JMenu menu1 = new JMenu("File");      
            JMenuItem item = new JMenuItem("About");      
            item.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
                public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
                  // About about = new About(this);
               // about.show();
            menu1.add(item);
         menubar.add(menu1);
    public static void main(String args[]){
         Main main = new Main();
    }** About.java**
    =============================
    import java.awt.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class About extends JDialog{
         JPanel jp_top, jp_center, jp_bottom;
         public About(JFrame owner){
              super(owner);
              setDefaultCloseOperation( DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE );
              Image img = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(DateChooser.class.getResource("Duke.gif"));          
              setIconImage( img );
              setSize(500,800);
              Container contentPane = getContentPane();
             contentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout());           
             contentPane.add(getTop(), BorderLayout.NORTH);
              contentPane.add(getCenter(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
              contentPane.add(getBottom(), BorderLayout.SOUTH);
              setResizable(false);
               pack();            
               setVisible(true);
         public JPanel getTop(){
              jp_top = new JPanel();
              return jp_top;
         public JPanel getCenter(){
              jp_center = new JPanel();
              return jp_center;
         public JPanel getBottom(){
              jp_bottom = new JPanel();
              jp_bottom.setLayout(new BoxLayout(jp_bottom, BoxLayout.X_AXIS));
              JButton jb = new JButton("OK");
              jp_bottom.add(jb);
              return jp_bottom;
    }

    Code looks reasonable except
    a) the code in the actionPerformed is commment out
    b) the owner of the dialog should be the frame
    If you need further help then you need to create a "Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)",
    see http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html,
    that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.

  • YES! How to make PRINT QUOTAS WORK with 10.4

    How to make PRINT QUOTAS WORK in 10.4
    After struggling for quite some time, I finally found a pretty simple way to make print quotas work.
    First, I’ll tell you our setup. We have 3 different computer centers with a variety of eMacs and new Intel iMacs, all clients are running 10.4.8, and each of those 3 centers has its own HP Laserjet 4200 printer. Our dual G5 server is running Server v.10.4.8. Client computers and printers have static IP addresses. All clients are bound to the server with the standard WorkGroup Manager/ LDAPv3 Directory Access scheme - such that all students login to the clients with their network username/password to mount their home directory on the client.
    Next, I’ll tell you what does not work. IF YOU WANT PRINT QUOTAS TO WORK, you cannot use Workgroup Manager to assign a printer to any managed user account, user group, or computer group. Why? Because when you go to a client, and Show Info on the printer that is being pushed by Workgroup Manager, you’ll see that the queue name is not the queue that you’ve setup in Server Admin. Instead, you’ll see the queue name is “MCX” or something along those lines. Even if you manually edit the Workgroup print preference file that is being pushed to clients, it still will not work.
    Drawbacks of my technique: In my case, students will see all 3 printers (1 from each lab) available to them no matter which lab they are in. Not the best, but for now I think it’ll be worth it to be able to control wasteful printing. Students may be able to move/delete the preference file (see below), but they’ll only be hurting themselves, as they won’t have any printers at all then.
    Okay, here’s how I did it:
    1. If you have setup any printers to be pushed out via Workgroup Manager’s preference enforcement to individual users, usergroups, or computer groups, turn those preferences off and leave them off.
    2. Delete any existing printers in your Printer Setup Utility and/or Server Admin. Add and setup a new printer queue using the Server Admin> Print service. I added the printer through the Server Admin application, not Printer Setup Utility (may not matter). However, I did go into that latter utility to set the model of the printer. Now, back in Server Admin, edit the printer queue to turn on these services IPP, LPR (bonjour off), and of course check off the enforce quotas box. (No student Windows clients, so I didn’t tinker with SMB print service). I went ahead and specified the standard cover sheet – it will be handy while troubleshooting.
    3. In Workgroup Manager, select the users that you want to enforce quotas upon, go to the Printer Quota tab (not the preference pane) and, in my case, I selected All Queues and specified a quota, and clicked Save.
    4. Delete all printers that appear in the Printer Setup Utility from each client computer (I know, UGH).
    5. For all network users, you need to edit a preference file and put it into each user’s home directory. That file is “com.apple.print.favorites.plist” and as you guessed, it needs to go into the Library> Preferences folder of every one of your network users’ home directories. Now, the content of that file is crucial… what it should show is the name of the queue(s) you created in Server Admin above, and be immediately followed by an “@” and the address of the server that is hosting that queue. For example, my queue’s name is TCStudentQ and the server’s address is student.mydomain.org… so my preference file has this entry: [email protected]. If you have more than one queue, you’ll have more entries. Be sure that the network user has at least Read level access under Group or Others. I’d recommend making the server System account the Owner of the file, and be sure to lock the file so the users can’t easily trash it. If you don’t know how to create this file in the first place, what you can do is go to a client computer, and log into the client with a dummy network account. Then open Printer Setup Utility, and you should see the queue you created in step 2. Add that printer, and then the file will be created in your dummy account’s home directory under Library> Preferences. Now you can use that file to distribute to other user’s folders… but don’t forget that each user needs Read level access.
    6. That’s it. Works for me. When they exceed the quota, all that spits out is the cover page. It’d be nice if there was a quota monitor utility on the client side so users can see how many pages they have remaining and when the quota will automatically reset. I plan to start the quota on a Monday morning and go on a weekly duration. Not sure what a good starting point is… perhaps 25 pages every school week.
    7. Hey Apple Computer, Inc. Server Developers & Project Managers, I truly hope you’re reading this and can explain why print quotas don’t function as you have documented and advertised. I don’t mean to toot my own horn, but I’ve spent way too much time discovering this workaround, and I know it will help thousands of others with the same problem. I can see where your Print Quota system breaks down, and I think you need to fix these issues or at least document them. Don’t forget to fix serious 10.4 Server bugs before leaving it behind for 10.5 Server – many of us will continue using 10.4 Server for at least another year or two.

    David,
    Your assumption that I didn't read the documentation is incorrect. I read that 10.4 documentation over and over - followed it to the letter to no avail. Perhaps it was updated in the last few weeks? So, do you have a fully operable printer quota system in conjunction with a managed computer or user group that has a managed printer pushed to the group via Workgroup Manager? I can push a managed printer to a managed group without a problem, but the quotas won't be enforced unless I use the workaround above and cut Workgroup Manager's managed/pushed printer out of the picture.
    I know this is a user-to-user forum - however, I'm also aware that Apple tech support often chime in here, so it doesn't hurt to post a message to them in the context of a larger posting about a 'known issue'. I have used the server feedback form... hasn't seemed to me to be very helpful in the past.

    When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

  • M-Audio Firewire 410 Audio Interface Problem!

    I was just wondering if anyone out there has had the same trouble as I have with my 410 Audio Interface.
    I have a brand spankin' new iMac G5 recieving July 27th, 2005, and a pair of Behringer Truth B2031A Studio Monitors, and then of course my M-Audio 410.
    The problem I am having is that my speakers are picking up noises the G5 is making, how do I explain. It appears as if the speakers were picking up the power consumption changes and amplifying them. Whenever I move my mouse, or use expose or use an application, my speakers just make noises related to the CPU's performance.
    I replaced the speakers, bought new cables, exchanged the M-Audio interface 2 times and am using my 3rd box and the problem still consists.
    Another problem I have is, when I power everything off, the M-Audio Interface still recieves power, therefore blinking it's extremly bright blue LED all night long. (Which isn't supposed to happen).
    If anyone knows any solutions, or had the same problem, Help!!

    Hi Studzik,
    Welcome to the discussions.
    Ummm ---- given that you have a G5, maybe it's better that you post this is the iMac G5 section of the discussions (this is the flat panel iMac G4 section that you have posted in). That way, you have a greater chance of a G5 iMac user familiar with your issue picking it up and being able to help you.
    All the best, hope you find a solution.
    Cheers!

  • Audio interface problems?

    I dont think this is just a logic problem but my audio interface keeps on stuttering and stopping, especially when using logic. Sometimes the time bar will be moving but there will be no sound then if i stop it might play a stutter or snippet of sound. There is no problem when listening through the laptop speakers. This has started happening with i tunes also.
    interface= tascam us-122
    If anyone can help that'd be great as it is really holding me back.

    How is your i/o buffer set? Have you updated to the latest drivers for the tascam?

  • Audio Interface: problems of recognising

    Hello there!
    I'm Leonardo, from Brazil. I'm new in the forum and it's a pleasure to be part of this community.
    I'm experiencing connection problems between Leopard and the Behringer UCG102 (Guitar Link) audio interface. It was working perfectly, and the MacBook use to recognise the interface as "Behringer USB" in the "Audio & Midi Settings".
    About a month ago, the Mac simply don't recognise the interface as "Behringer USB" anymore, and now the only thing Leopard shows is "USB CODEC" in the place of "Behringer USB".
    The interface is working (e.g. when I use with Garage Band), but the problem is that the softwares that I use (Guitar Rig, ReValver) aren't working as they use to.
    I've tried to reinstall the Leopard 10.5.2 that came with the Mac. The interface still shows "USB CODEC". After I upgraded to 10.5.3, and 10.5.4, and it remains with "USB CODEC".
    Does anybody knows the answer for this?
    Thanks a lot!
    Leonardo.

    Still having problem.
    Does anybody know what I should do?

  • Firewire and audio interface problem, please help

    Hi all
    I'm not being lazy, i've spent hours trawling through forums and google trying to find a fix but cant so hope someone here can help.
    Basically, I've been using my Macbook for Logic Studio with an audio interface (Motu 8pre). This was connected via firewire 400 to firewire 400 and worked absolutely fine no problems.
    I've recently got a Mac Pro. I've installed Logic onto it, my Motu 8pre driver etc etc and noticed that the firewire socket on the Mac Pro is different. I've been on the Motu website and quite clearly they say that a firewire 400 to firewire 800 cable will work fine with modern macs (this can be seen in more detail at bottom right of this web page http://www.motu.com/products/motuaudio/8pre
    I've bought one of these cables and plugged them into my interface and Mac Pro respectively, switched on the device as i have been doing for the past year with my Macbook, but the MacPro just wont seem to recognise it.
    How can I get this interface to work with my Mac Pro?
    I've tried connecting to different ports on back and front, restarting machine but it just wont work.
    Am I missing something simple here?
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks in advance
    Adam

    Ok its official I AM a muppet.
    Went onto motu site again and noticed they released an update driver for snow leopard. Downloaded it and it works fine.
    Fixed.
    Thanks

  • Alesis io2 Audio Interface problems

    Since the last update, ive noticed more lag, crashes and major problems with preferances not recognising certain audio interfaces, mainly my alesis io2,
    How do we contact apple to help remedy this?
    Ive re-installed osx and I stupidly forgot to back up everything, so I lost over 3000 songs, all my originals songs and every photo ive ever taken, so stupid of me.
    I have an Alesis io2, and its not being recognised in the sound preferances, under utilities in applications, its says that it's online but the its only outputting sound, this has only happened since the last update, up untill that I had no problems at all, in fact it was perfect for i what i want to record.
    Ive contacted Alesis, and they have not acknowledged my email and there is NOTHING on their website that addresses this issue. I really hope apple has a remedy, because if they dont, the io2 is rendered useless to me and i will have to fork out another couple of hundred bucks for another interface.
    So **** off, and im really sick of singing Apple's praise's.
    No Longer a fan. GRRRRRARGH
    Anyone who has a "fix" or any info on this...at all.
    PLease email me at: [ Edited by Host, No personal information please. ]

    I dont know what i need fixed, however since the last update there are a plethora of people who use an alesis io2 audio interface, and we are all frustrated that its now not being recognised in the sound preferances, it was working fine up untill the last update, now its rendered useless. Its frustrating because their not cheap pieces of equipment, upward of $250, so untill apple decides to remedy the flaws (which i cant specify because im a musician not a geek) We will be forced to fork out more money for another interface, it *****, it really *****. and who knows if there will even be a "fix" in the next update, im growing increasingly over macs, since i got mine last year, it just seems to cost more and more money to get add on's and programsetc they are difficult and expensive to find, even having to pay $400 for the apple help line to answer ANY question is just ridiculus.

  • M-Box audio interface problem

    My M-box audio interface does not show up in the audio in/out preferences for my audio applications. I have to boot up the computer while it is plugged in (via USB) in order for it to show up and function. I have tested the USB cable and other USB devices work in both ports, ruling out a problem with USB ports. Any idea?
    Thank you

    I can't get it to work with itunes, or any program that outputs sound
    For that to happen you also have to open the Sound panel in *System Preferences* and designate your Tascam as the output (and input-) device.
    On the 'audio midi setup' in utilities (under applications in finder), it has the device listed, but doesn't necessarily say it is connected...
    If it isn't connected, it won't show up in AMS. so if it shows up, it's connected.
    The device comes with its own application called 'FW-1804 manager', which does detect it when it is connected and on. A little green light appears on this program to show that audio is enabled.
    Have you investigated that Program thoroughly?
    The device has 12 outputs, 8 of which are adat, 2 spdif, then the 2 main analogue outputs. It doesn't say which is which in the list of outputs within 'audio midi setup', it just numbers them 1 to 12.
    Here your Tascam manual should shed light on what is what. Or you may have to assign those in the control software.
    The levels by each output slider are all set to 0 and are greyed out and unchangeable, whereas when the output is set to 'built in output', the faders are available to adjust.
    Yes, those only appear with built in audio - that's normal. You have to set the sliders in the control program.
    Does this mean that the output routing is incorrectly set up, or something along those lines? I'm pretty sure it should work, it says it is leopard and intel mac compliant.
    Yes, probably.
    And it does still work with the PC, leading me to believe i just need to change some settings?
    Yep.
    Could it be anything to do with the fact that it is a FW-400 device, with a 6 pin connection, and I am using a 6 - 9 pin cable to connect it to the FW-800 bus on the mac?
    No. If the cable was faulty, it would not have shown up in the AMS utility.

  • Thunder Bolt to Monitor and Firewire to Audio Interface Problem

    Hello. I just purchased 2 studio monitors for producing. I have a audio interface connected from my firewire plug on my 15 inch mabook pro, which are going out to my speakers. Thats all fine, but whenever I plug in my thunderbolt to hdmi adapter going to my other computer screen, it makes a really annoying buzzing sound. I can like hear all the buzzing and sounds inside my computer hard drive or something, its weird. Does anyone know why this is happening?
